PENTANGLE

Jonathan is dating Melissa, but finds himself attracted to his best friend Chris’s girlfriend Carol. Carol returns the interest, but it may be more manipulation than infatuation. Melissa is besotted with Jonathan and doesn’t notice the stolen glances between him and Carol. Carol’s little sister Katie also has a crush on Jonathan, but she’s only fifteen. Chris suspects what’s going on, but he’s busy trying to make the Olympic swimming team, and hopes it’s just the nerves talking. He’s wrong. Love isn’t just blind, it also sucks at math.

THE MANHATTAN PROJECT

A truck is forced into the barrier midway across the George Washington Bridge. The rear doors come open and a crate slides out onto the pavement, breaking open. The driver climbs out of the cab and is astonished by the sight of the crate’s contents scattered across the bridge: an assortment of military weapons and explosives. A distant sniper rifle fires, and the truck driver crumples in a heap to the pavement. Sean Casey, the homicide detective assigned to the case, follows a chain of evidence that leads to a shocking conclusion: Manhattan is once again to be held hostage to a terrorist threat.

THE L5 INCIDENT

The year is 2089. The L5 power generation station, supporting a population of almost eight thousand, is the largest source of energy for Earth’s teeming multitudes, as well as the launch platform for interplanetary exploration and commerce. Its thousands of square kilometers of solar panels convert vast quantities of sunlight into electric power – enough to supply nearly 25% of the world’s needs.No one owns the station: the L5 colony is an international protectorate. But there are powers on Earth that would like to see that change.
